CORRECTED SCHOOL PERFORMANCE SCORES REPORTED
Four Indiana County schools' numbers now posted by Education Dept.12/12/2013

The state Education Department has released its corrected ratings of 3,000 schools as part of the new School Performance Profiles requirements. The initial figures released two months ago were, by the state’s own admission, incomplete in some instances and inaccurate in others. Many of the schools had requested delays while they corrected Keystone Exam results, but the state released the preliminary numbers so that schools that receive Title 1 funding would not have to wait for their federal stipends.
